The Great Wedding

The Great Wedding

So far it’s been a year full of love, and wedding announcements (and the follow up parties) have popped up like mushrooms on acid throughout the past 365 days. This fourth one was extra special to me though, not only because I’ve been planning and designing the event for month, but it was also the big day for my sweet baby sister, my best friend and high heel soul mate.

Hours and hours we spent on picking the theme (Great Gatsby), marveling dresses and shoes, picturing the event in it’s brightest (champagne) colors. Feather stolas were casted, bridesmaids gowns selected, pearl necklaces (ultra long) ordered. Everyone came in their finest costumes, their best heels, throwing in their every two cents worth to honour bride & groom.

And after all the long hours planning and spending so much time & effort in lovely but pricey details, I realised that the biggest and most precious good achieved was actually the brides smile at the event itself and the guests all laughing and dancing until the early morning hours, not wanting to leave the lovely castle in Austria where the event took place.

Priceless love, fantastic memories, a pair of COMPLETELY ruined shoes, one pearl necklace shredded, a hangover as large as the party itself: Mr. Gatsby would have been so jealous.

Today’s heels are a bargain steel (pimped with a little tulle) from a market in Spain. I never had more fun dancing.

Fashion knows five seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter obviously, and: Carnival of course, starting just now! Suppose people all over the globe love dressing up; hiding behind loads of make up, jumping into weird costumes to look hotter or more creative or fun. Am quite torn on the Carnival subject: for sure love the uninhibited party mode (something easily achieved without looking like a clown), but definitely don't need a "theme" to have fun.

Was it "the '80s" or "GaGa" the previous years, I already recieved three invites following the hot theme this year: "Fifty Shades of Grey" (ding dong, get the latex out!). Great for the average carnival office party, can fully imagine your colleagues dressed as Mr. Grey (guess the color of the expensive suit) or Anastasia (oversized comfy pullover. Walmart skirt) nibbling on cocktails, of course all of them hiding all kinds of sex toys in their private parts. FUN! Well, since my disastrous "makeover" yesterday - aka gloriously full and lovely looking haircut and blow out meeting rain from hell, I decided that whenever asked to dress up, I would show up as a cat this carnival season. Drowned in alcohol that is. But for the theme lovers: I hid three stainless steel loveballs in today's picture. Spot them, and you win a pair of my high heels.

Happy Carnival everyone
